Abstract
BACKGROUND: Incisional hernia is the hernia that presents at the site of a previous incision. It is one true iatrogenic hernia. Study of its clinical presentation and management may help its prevention. This study was performed to review clinical profile and management of incisional hernia in our institute.METHODS: This study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery at KIMSDU, Karad. 60 patients underwent surgery for incisional hernia. Data on clinical presentation, type of operative procedure, and post-operative complications were collected.
RESULTS: 60 cases underwent surgery for an incisional hernia, female predominance, and age group of 35-45 years and 56-65 were common, about 9(15%) of patients had pre-operative pain, the most common previous surgery was LSCS 23(38.33%), the most common surgical incision was Pfannenstiel 27(45%), more common in the infraumbilical region (83.33%), 7(11.67%) had post op SSI, major comorbidity was obesity, most common operative management was sublay (preperitoneal) meshplasty.
CONCLUSION: Incisional hernia is more common in females.. In our study most of the incisional hernia occurred in infraumbilical incisions. Patients with comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, COPD had higher chances of hernia occurrence.
